Sound Quality:
I have over thirty guitars & nearly 200 effects so I'm up to snuff on the comparitive study of sound, plus I approuch all effects from the methodology of the Subtractive Synthesis train of thought. That being said this thing is can be noisy if you put gain units behind it, but sometimes even that works out well. this thing can get those SY YOYOYOYOYOYOY's sounds and oh so much more. Luckily I have a half dozen Moog C/V pedals!
Reliability/Durability:
I'm very cautious with this and a few other effects in my collection because in a sense they're cultural artifacts. I'd never use this live. Ever!
Ease of Use:
I couldn't believe it when my friend from the guitar shop called me and told me they just got in a Ludwig mini-Phase II. I asked if it wasn't in fact the same Ludwig Suitcase Phaser that Sonic Youth used on the Diamond Sea & he said "No it's way smaller than that & we think it's older, in fact we've never seen one, we can't find any info on it & it's broken". My heart jumped because I'm the only guy in town that fixes pedals. so after looking it over & bartering a little they let me have it for $40, oh man! It was sooooo worth the $5 transformer & the 1/2 hour worth of work. This thing is sooooooooooo lush & weird, it has most of the sounds on the Suitcase Phase II, and to be honest it's actually cooler in that it has C/V outs for Depth, Width, Resonance, regeneration, Noise, and a built in threadle for Speed. Another cool feature is the speed ramping (this allows it to speed up and slow down like a Leslie Cabinet.
Customer Support:
yeah, thy don't even know about this.
Overall Rating:
Just having this feels my heart with the warmth of young love. A secret love that I can' t share with many people, because quite frankly I'd be afraid that they'd steal it. I wish I still had my Suitcase Phase II to compare this to, maybe someday they will sit side-by-side in my grave.
